Editor wing: Since we wrote you last
there has been quite dearih of news but
we will now try and give you few items.
We see as We pass along the road from
Woohlawn to Rsa's Corner that Mr.. j. b.
TysoL has nearly completed new house on
the site of the one that was burned on Mrs.
Gorrells farm last spring. II is intended
for his son George, who expects to move his
family into it during the holidays. Success
tn George The enterpri~ing young farmer.
We hear that Mr. jesse Srebbiug has
bought the property formerly owned by
Charley Barnes at Woodlawn II has been
in Lawyer Th:ckery's hands since Barnes'
trial Wonder if Jesse means to start
butchrring TT?
Ano,h'r farm has changed hand. in the
same vicinity. Joseph Shippers has bought
the farm OF the Misses Frist just opposite
Mrs Rea's home. And now we are dying
to tell thai one ot the young jurors for this
term Of court will lead one of our fairest
young ladies' TO the hymenial altar ere thi.
is in type May heaven bless both, is the
earnest WISH oi tit NTIitT
The W c. I. L. of Woodlawn, held their
rirst sociabl.' for the season at Mrs Edwin
Barnes i'll November and the second one
was held AZ the house of the worthy pres-
dent Mrs. c. :. A 'rahaIns on Friday even
lug December 23d. Both were enjoyable
meetings. And now ladies of the W. G. T.
L. don't it seem As if you would have to rs-
double your efforts aud press more of the
sterner sex into the service when we con-
slider the places W hich are kept open to way
lay the unwary. P"rsous driving past late at
night have repeatedly seen a number of
teams tied up at the called ''stura" op-
posiye the old Swamp tavern and n glirnmer
of Ii ght under the door aud tho uuluistaka-
Bile sounds 10 be heard told too plainly that
the drivers of those teams We're having "a
time of It," And another thing the writer
has informatiun that a certain man in the
neig eighhorhoOd who ran a whisky rancho at
the can p meeting last summer has been
employed to haul liquor from Oxford to
Port Deposit, il being considered the surest
way to evade Diet ctinn by the liquor sellers
occupying houses on High street i'll the lat
ter place. Gentlemen of the Seventh dis
| trict and especially of Port Deposit what
are you doing? Haven't you got enough re-
gard for your families and the Community
to ferret ont these things? Ii you have NOT,
you had better call u your assistance some
of those women who have been trying SO
hard To improve matters in that respect.
They would no doubt help We hear some
OF them talking and can almost hear more
of them thinking, they cant surely stand
things they are now throughout the win
ter. Lovers of law and order you have the
law on yuur side au:i have uorhing to fear,
and with the law aud the Lord on your side
who need be afraid?
There is anut her matter we would like to
cali the attention of the fathers to and that
is, why do you not men who, before God
must at last give an account of your stew
d,hip, interest yourselves as TO where your
sons spend their evenings? Why loiter off
TO the store or some other pastime place, and
let The boys look out for their own amuse-
lnents and companions. On fathers mark
what We say II you don't look after them
and influence them in the right, Satan will
look after them through his emni,aries and
lead them down to the path of darkness.
Oh consider ere il is too late.
Hoping these Suggestions will be taken as
kindly a. they given, we will close for the
present. Il. w.
